Well, after nearly 20 years of searching high and low for a replacement to the 1981 Candy Apple Red S-250 I sold in 1984, I am proud to report that the search is OVER!!! The guitar is on its way and should be in my hands Tuesday or Wednesday. By the way....if it shows on Tuesday it would be 26 year to the day from when I sold my S-250 (Sept 21, 1984)!! It looks like this deal was meant to be!
Originally, Thunderface posted the link (may/June timeframe) to the craigslist ad, but at the time the seller was looking for $2900!! After waiting things out, communicating with the seller often and not appearing too anxious, I was able to negotiate a price of $800 plus shipping. The guitar appears, at least from photos, to be in great shape. Also comes with original case (looks a little battle worn), hang tag and neck adjustment wrench.
To offset the cost of this purchase I may have to sell one of my D-46 Bld's (1985 s/n DL100927). If interested, please PM me for details.
I look forward to posting pics of my new "baby"!
